Entry to Kambathrayan Giri temple restricted on Purattasi Saturdays over recent forest fire
Authorities have barred visitors from the Kambathrayan Giri temple on Purattasi Saturdays after a forest fire scorched nearby grasslands and vegetation. The blaze left the ground and rocks extremely hot, creating loose soil and unstable debris. The Forest Department warned that the remnants could cause slips, falls or rock slides, prompting the temporary restriction for safety.
